AMD launches Ryzen 7 9850X3D bundle with DDR5 memory and cooler

Photos of a retail bundle have surfaced online, suggesting AMD is preparing an unusual package based on the Ryzen 7 9850X3D. Instead of a standard processor box, the company appears to be combining the CPU with DDR5 memory and a Cooler Master air cooler, creating a ready-made solution for building a high-performance PC. The packaging features logos from AMD, Cooler Master, and V-Color, indicating a multi-party partnership rather than a classic OEM product.

According to labels on the box, the kit includes a Ryzen 7 9850X3D processor, two 32GB V-Color DDR5 modules, and a Cooler Master Hyper 612 APEX PRO cooler. The memory frequency isn't specified, but the configuration hints that the bundle is aimed at gamers and enthusiasts who want a balanced system without the hassle of selecting compatible components individually.

Preliminary estimates put the total cost of this bundle at around $1,100. The Hyper 612 APEX cooler alone is priced at about $80, the V-Color RGB-lit DDR5 kit could cost around $500, and the Ryzen 7 9850X3D itself is officially confirmed by AMD with a $499 price tag and a January 29 launch date. This makes the bundle more about convenience as an all-in-one option rather than being budget-focused.

The photos were posted by user JustBuy on Bilibili, suggesting the kit is primarily targeted at the Chinese market. It's unclear whether it will be available outside China, but sources confirm sales will begin soon. Against this backdrop, AMD's move looks logical as a way to boost the appeal of its flagship 3D V-Cache chip, especially given the popularity of CPU bundles in the U.S., where retailers often sell processors with memory and motherboards.
